GFX-50R + Metabones Speedbooster + Hassy V lens

With optics inside the adapter, the "crop factor" becomes 1, so you are using the full Hasselblad lens. Obviously there will be some image degradation, but with the GFX-50R at $3500 currently, this seems to be the best option to use the Hasselblad lens on a digital camera.

Even I am tempted....

I did not know such adapter existed.
I thought all the Metabones Speedboosters were for FF lenses, C/Y, Canon, Nikon, Minolta SR mount, others?
And I don't know of any for GFX mount?

I will have to look again...

Very cool. I couldn't find any reports of usage online, but it looks like B&H has them in stock.

I noticed that Kipon has a full line of focal reducers out for the GFX for most of the major MF lens mounts....

Tempted to buy the adapter from B&H, which has a 30-day return policy and rent a GFX-50R to try out the combo...
